Beautiful Pin-Up Girls with Photos

Pin-up girls are models, photo models, the singer and the actress who act as models which images become the bright and sign phenomenon in pop culture. Many of these models were perceived as sex symbols of the time.

For the first time started talking about Pin-Up at the beginning of the XX century when for advertizing and calendars began to use the drawn beauties, which were just redrawn first from photos or even just painted pictures. The name Pin-Up happened thanks to truck drivers who pasted over the trucks with pages with beautiful girls. Literally the word "pin up" means to pin.

It should be noted that posters, pictures, photos with Pin-up girls were distributed among the American soldiers during World War II. The most famous Pin-up model of an early era was Bettie Greybl. In later time posters about a pin-ap began to be issued by girls intentionally. Pin-up gained popularity in post-war time and was considered to be special beauty such joyful, attractive, radiating health and radiating life as girls on photos. In those days on the streets could be seen mostly thin, tired, pale and unhappy girls.
